I love that they talked, mocked , joked about and took their sickness with the right amount of humour and dignity ... Like all afflictions in life if you take them far too seriously they will consume you and destroy you long before they should have... Keeping a light heart and being able to overcome your fears deals you a much better hand no matter how many fingers are missing!! John Green had it right Life & Love is just a shout into the void and pain demands to be felt .... so feel it embrace it let it make you stronger let the grief reveal you ... Stating it changes you is just a way of hiding behind a curtain drawn too soon ... Open those curtains and let the sun shine in even though you know it will eventually get dark take every moment of sunshine you can and bathe in it's glory when it gets dark remember the way the sunshine felt and know it will rise again the darkness is but a brief moment in our existence ! Was this a tear jerker .., absolutely!!!! grab a box of tissues but be prepared to laugh and be inspired it's not all doom and gloom there's no doubt John has a quirky and articulate way with words .... Applied to the right story and you have very few faults in these stars....In saying that this book is not one I starting reading and couldn't put down I took my time to read it and I appreciate it's uniqueness but I don't feel the urge to give a rave review this one is more of it's an interesting read when you get the time and your in the mood for something a little different .. For me it wasn't STOP everything your doing and read it now kind of book but It touched me and I'm glad I read it!

I give it 3 out of 5 starsReviewed by Danielle"Confessions Of a Bookaholic"...more

“You are told from the moment you enter school that time is constant. It never changes. It is one of those set things in life that you can always rely on...much like death and taxes. There will always be sixty seconds in a minute. There will always be sixty minutes in an hour. And there will always be twenty-four hours in a day.Time was not fluctuating. It moved on at the same, constant pace at every moment in your life.

And that was the biggest load of crap that I’d ever been taught in school.

Truth was, time did fluctuate. It was easy to lose hours or even days in a blink of an eye. Other times, it was a struggle to get through a mere hour. It ebbed and flowed as relentlessly as thetides, and just as powerfully too. The moments that you wanted to last forever were the ones that were washed away all too soon. The moments that you wanted to speed up, were slowed down to a snail’s pace.That was the truth of the matter.”

“I love you more. I love you enough to let you go and live your dream." I tilted my head and shrugged. "Don't you see....? I love you more."

He smiled softly and I brushed some hair off his forehead. Running the backs of my fingers down his cheek, I whispered, "And, yes, I will miss you, more than you could possibly imagine, but I know that you have to do this Kellan. And you know it too."

Stubbornly he shook his head. "No, I know that I have to be with you. Everything else is just .... details.”
